The 35-foot-tall oak trees to be planted at Toomer's Corner on Saturday have been loaded on flat-bed trucks and are en route to Auburn.

Auburn University provided the first glimpse at the new trees via Twitter on Thursday. The trees will be installed beginning at 8 a.m. on Valentine's Day at the historic Toomer's Corner at the corner of Magnolia Avenue and College Street. The public is invited to attend, though the process is expected to last seven hours.

College Street (from Thach Avenue to Tichenor Avenue) and Magnolia Avenue (from Wright Street to the Compass Bank parking lot) will close at 7:30 a.m. and will remain so until 2 p.m.

The new trees are expected to arrive at the corner as early as 7:30 a.m. on Saturday.
